Dear Statalist:

I have run into an odd situation when using ivreg2.  Upon adding a
particular variable (X) to a regression model as an included instrument
(i.e., exogenous regressor), both the centered and uncentered R^2 decline.
The variable X is significantly related to the outcome Y in the model.  When
I estimate the same model using 2SLS, the R^2 also declines when X is added
as an exogenous variable.  However, the centered R^2 is much greater in
magnitude than when GMM is used.  Any thoughts as to why this might be
occurring?  Is it something I should be worried about?  Are the R^2
statistics reported by ivreg2 valid in such a situation?  If not, what
should I report?  

Thanks.
